Ada Lovelace Day!
Oct. 15th, 2013 10:35 pmWhich snuck up on me somehow!
Ada Lovelace was mathematician and the world's first computer programmer.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dglenn posted a quotation from her which resonated with me so much in this Information Age: "I never am really satisfied that I understand anything; because, understand it well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand about the many connections and relations which occur to me, how the matter in question was first thought of or arrived at, etc., etc."
I am fortunate and lazy. I know a bunch of scientists and engineers who are women, not least on LJ *wave to my friends, whom I would list except that I'd inevitably leave someone out and that would be bad* Happy Ada Lovelace Day!
